" t- FOOD THAT HELPS GROWTH , - - , New Chemical Production Shows Mar- I velous Results in Promoting I - - - Size of Human eings. ' ! Several doctors and chemists have lately been studying a form of food which is stated to show marvelous results in promo ! ing the growth of human beings and animals generally. Experiments have been mad upon creatures so , tliverse as tad- poles , guinea pigs , puppies , rats , and young chickens , and in every case it was found that the animals . fed upon this food grew faster , - and attained a larger growth , than those reared in thc ordinary waJ' way.There There seems , therefore , to be no , doubt that children brought up on this kind of nutriment would far outstrip in size thos ( j . fed on other diet. .And now , their curiosity roused , readers may ask : "What is this wonderful food / " Well , it is nothing more or less than the yolks of eggs. Their effect ip pro- moting- growth is due to a substance - stance which they contain , and which ( scientists ( know as "leci- . thin. " It develops the bodily Firm t Inrc.

The r men swim across both with their horses and on them. They do it in swimming costume , as well as in all the accoutrements of war.

SEES WINGED EXPRESSES. Santos-Dumont Utters a Few Star- tling Predictions Regarding Fu- ture Transportation. . - 'Vriting in thc new French magazine Je Snis Tout ( I Know Everything ) , M. Santos Dumont , the famous French aeronaut , prophesies that before in tummy , years have passed a complete revolution elution will have taken place in modern methods of traveling.

" Men of this generation will take their seats in them as naturally us their grand- fathers did in the first railway ( 'U rria ges. Pars will bc transformed bJ' aerial stations at which passen- gers will alight and embark on flying omnibuses. \Yinged warships will menace ! modern fleets and wage war with HulHuarines-perhaps put whole armies to flight. Very possibly some bold explorer will reach the north pole ] without much difficulty iu a dirigible bulloon. " 11 hat would you say , " adds 1\1. Santos Dumont , "if 1 told you tutu t next . summer I am confident of giving a new impulse to aerial nay - ig-ation ; that I myself ; hope to be able , before ending my experiences - riences , to cruise over Europe for a week at a time-without descending - .Andiug to carth-in a yacht that will be in itself a flying house ?

Even so , the man who successfully passes the . examination of the union is required . luired to serve an apprenticeship for two years before be can take a shop of his own.
